History
editThe Virgin and Child are shown accompanied by the saints Stephen, Jerome, and Maurice.[2] Gronau thinks that this picture may belong to the period about 1508 to 1510.[2] The Louvre dates it to between 1510 and 1525.[1] The type of the Virgin here is like the one in the Madrid Sacra Conversazione and the Annunciation in Treviso.[3] The figure of Saint Stephen is comparable with the servant's head in the Salome in the Galleria Doria Pamphilj, Rome.[4] A type like the Saint Jerome is to be found in one of the Padua frescoes.[3]
The picture entered the Louvre from the collection of Louis XIV.[3]
